Notes
Store-bought grapefruit juice can be used, but fresh-squeezed provides the best flavor.
The cocktail can be made sweeter by adding more simple syrup, or less sweet by reducing it.
For a stronger rosemary flavor, infuse the gin with rosemary for 24 hours before using.
The drink should be served immediately while bubbles are fresh and ice is cold.
